Today, I'm excited to welcome Smita Joshi, an award-winning author and transformation coach. Smita is the author of the 'Karma & Diamonds' series, which draws from her own life experiences to guide readers on a profound journey of self-discovery. With a career that spans from leading roles in the tech industry to impactful teachings on personal and spiritual growth, Smita's insights offer a transformative perspective on navigating life's challenges.
Questions I asked:
Smita, how do you define the "illusion of separation" in your work, and why is it important to recognize this illusion in our lives?
What are some effective ways to bridge the gap between our perceived separate selves and our higher selves? How can listeners apply these concepts in their daily lives?
Smita, in your Karma & Diamonds series, you delve into themes of self-discovery and personal transformation. How do these themes relate to the illusion of separation, and what insights do you hope readers take away from your journey through these stories?

Today, we have a very special guest with us, Ravi Kathuria.
Ravi Kathuria is a spiritual author and thought leader who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of spiritual advancement. He is the author of the book 'Happy Soul. Hungry Mind.', a parable about non-religious, practical spirituality. Ravi's work is a testament to his belief that spirituality is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, and that experiencing inner peace can dramatically enhance the quality of our lives.
And if that would not be enough already, Ravi is also a highly successful entrepreneur and author of How Cohesive is your Company? — A highly acclaimed Leadership Parable. He is the founder of a management consulting and executive coaching firm, Cohegic, and the founder of the business conferences firm, Houston Strategy Forum. He has been quoted by the Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, WorldNews, NPR, and featured on PBS Nightly Business Report, CBS Radio, TEDx, and the BusinessMakers show.
Topics talked about:
- In your book, "Happy Soul. Hungry Mind.", you present spirituality as a simple and accessible concept. Can you elaborate on this?
- You have written an earlier book called How Cohesive is your Company? — A highly acclaimed Leadership Parable. What are the parallels to your later book and how can leaders and entrepreneurs learn from your deep spiritual insights?
- It becomes more and more fascinating to entrepreneurs and spiritual people to learn from each other. How are you filling the gap between the two - traditionally rather extreme ends of the spectrum?

Would you please tell us about your story, how did you choose the path of enlightenment or awakening, or did choose you?
Your life experience has deeply initiated you into what it takes internally and externally to choose yourself and lead a life of fulfillment courageously. I would love to have you elaborate on this topic.
Your work is primarily with women, and you show them how to be a witness to their lives unfolding in a way that is beyond their control, and you work with them on post-relationships with Narcissists and/or Psychopaths. How do you help them heal and move on with their lives?
